Lore-wise is there any Warframe tier list? (spoilers)

[Kaom]

From my point of view, some powers are more "powerful" or "useful" than others. The powers of speed and time for example are overpowered in my opinion. A fat boy which power is to eat people and throw them out and then turn into a ball doesn't look very powerful.

My question is, are some Tenno more powerful than the others due to the nature of their power? Do they have more "void" power? Were some Tennos more affected by the void than others?
Are the Warframes limited so a "very powerful" tenno can't just unleash his power as Gauss for example and just pull a Quick Silver everytime something happens?

[fmalfeas]

In theory, I suspect that the strongest warframe would be one that could, somehow, channel the void like the tenno themselves do.

In which case, when linked, the Tenno could wield the void (which is supposed to be overwhelming) but do so from within a body that is nearly indestructible and has the reflexes of a predator.

Limbo is canonically one of the strongest. He has defeated entire armies alone by placing them into the Rift, unable to move, to starve to death.

Gara also defeated a full sized Sentient herself, but died doing so.

Saryn Prime was sent to Earth to cleanse the Infestation. It's implied she destroyed most of it alone, on a planet wide scale.

Chroma defeated a Sentient, and took it's pelt as a trophy.

Just a few off the top of my head.

gara destroyed it with a bomb, so it wasn't the warframes power that did it

Harrow should be there cause he held the man in the wall for so long.
To my knowledge that entity is something most powerful in Warframe universe.

Tho in reality Harrow lacks a full mod slot if you want to build him and use him without crying.
And to no one's surprise DE does not give a ♥♥♥♥, they think it's fine that no one ever uses Harrow.
I love his design, you just have to sacrifice too much no matter how you build him.

Inaros defeated /The Orokin/ (the ones who made him), and then wiped out an infestation plague planetarily. The infested pushed him to his limits, however, and he was badly damaged.

The citizens, not understanding his power, /put him in a tomb/. Which ensured he couldn't regenerate himself by leeching the life from anything. He didn't *want* to do so to the citizens, so he didn't just nom them to heal when he was found.

Note, he did all this with no Tenno. All the time in the tomb left his mind basically 'dead' even after we put him back together though.

Which is why the God-King is just our suit now.

I don't see how "fast person" and "living black hole" aren't comparable.

[Rutabaga]

Atlas in the lore was able to shatter an asteroid that would have destroyed the Earth, by detecting its fault lines and striking them alongside an army of Rumblers he made. Which is impressive, as this is implied to be caused by physical might alone. So he could probably cause a ton of destruction to a planet in a short period of time if given the chance.

However, it's probably safe to say that he isn't necessarily the most dangerous of the Warframes, it's probably a safe assumption to say he is physically the strongest one in the lore. Overall, I'd say this is a question that can't quite be completed right now, as there are plenty of Warframes right now that don't have much of a story that displays the feats that they are "capable of".

""We do know this: in the final days of Orokin rule... as towers fell and death came for the white-and-gold gods... the Scoria were not spared.

No. Rather their senior ranks - the mentors and chief assassins - were exterminated to a figure in a pogrom of ruthless and breathtaking efficiency.

A near-total destruction led... in the main... by Ash.""

--Drusus



The Orokin heavily influenced the WF universe we know.... like gods... of science...
But even gods can bleed.

It kinda depends but some less obvious frames would be really powerful. Like Mag, she would create such a loss of money for Corpus. Like everytime she cast any of her magnetic abilities. All electronics in the area would burn to a crisp. Needing to be replaced. So a one cast on the bridge and there goes the whole battleship because all of its controls needs replacing. Also the crush ability (magnetizing bones, calcium bones ?) that would require such a magnetic field that the bodies themselves would turn to a mush first.

Titania can rip souls out of living things via tribute, i guess in lore that would mean an instant death on the spot.

Limbo and his dimensions though put him on another new level.

Nova ... oh boy. If her abilities were actually "Anti matter" stuff as the game says. Then every time she uses them... uh

Null lance, because getting slapped by country destroying atomic explosions is the best defence.

The anti matter drop would probably, destroy the planet. 0,5 grams of anti matter has the power of Fatman. That Orb she creates isnt exactly small so thats alot of weight to go boom.

Priming enemies with anti matter... like if Nova would prime 10 enemies at once, i think the Solar System would experience a superNova.

Her wormhole is probably the tamest ability because it only lets her maybe travel in time but i guess its useful to escape when your abilities will destroy the planet you are standing on.

Wisp solar beam would look abit different, it says that it opens a portal to the sun. If she would have used that ability, instead of a stream of plasma, a stream of atomic explosions would come out and would eradicate life on the planet.

Protea can travel back in time but Nova can do that with Wormholes too.

that is explained with science WE know right now.

But if you consider level of power characters in this game possess - I do not see why wouldn't Wisp be able to scale down a star from one dimension to another. Cause we do not know anything about inter-dimensional travel, we only have theories of it's existence.

Also, star she brings may not be star like Sun - it can be a pulsar or super nova. They are very small in size as entire mass of a huge star has collapsed into like 20-200km radius ball. That ball is not active as our Sun is, yet with density of bazilion tons per spoon full of matter from it - it has immense energy that can be detected on the other side of the universe.

Wisp may be channeling that and not full blown Sun. Pulsars have more directional beams of energy, that's another option.

But bottom line is - we should not try to apply our science to it as civilizations in the game are far beyond humans in terms of science. Process of creating and manipulating a warframe is just not something we can do, yet alone super powers.

I love how Wisp steps back when you cancel your 4-th ability, really sells it that she is doing something insanely powerful.

Since she has no feet and isn't physical touching the ground, I'm surprised she isn't yeeted back at mach speed.

Her thicc ass has gravity field of it's own.

The solar beam...I can see it being plasma, if the portal is just barely on the fringe, skimming plasma from the very surface.

Mind you, that would still probably not be plasma like we think of it. Even our high-energy plasma found outside a nuclear reactor has NOTHING on stellar fusion plasma.

The heat of a direct dose of that would probably initiate fission on quite a few things.

Now, going beyond just the Inaros bit I mentioned before (Remember, the guy who turned on the Orokin without a Tenno pilot and trounced them so badly that they completely abandoned Mars?)...

Volt is releasing amounts of electricity so high they can arc /past grounding points/. This means lightning is like a AA battery compared to him.

Mag...yeah, even if she's using straight magnetism, not EM, she's utterly terrifying. The force of magnetic power required to lift a human, due to the low content of ferrous materials in us would scramble the brains of all living things in like 1000 miles. Permanently.

Gauss - Oh dear. A walking talking deployment of Gauss' principles of electromagnetism? If you assume he's roughly even just 50% the output of Mag, if you gave him a piece of iron that's about 1oz, he could fire that thing around .3C. Which would give it enough impact force (even after being reduced to plasma by friction) to crack a planet wide open. Coilguns are no joke, and one of *that* output is just bleeding lunacy.

Ember - I think it depends on the maximum temperature she can actually output. There's a point at which she would create a fire that would not go out until there was no more solid, liquid, gas, or plasma for it to consume as fuel. Attempts to extinguish it that involved anything other than removing all the heat or fuel outright would only increase it, serving as more fuel. Theoretically, this means there's a temperature point where you can no longer even achieve nuclear fusion or fission, because all the non-quantum particles are being burned up and converted immediately to heat and light.

Nekros - No matter where you go, if life once lived there, there are the dead. You can't actually kill what's already dead. And his undead minions seem to have their powers still. So in theory if you faced Nekros where warframes died in the old war, he could bring them back and command all their powers...at the same time.

So...probably Nekros.
